The victims' ages ranged from 15 to 20.

The shooting happened a little before midnight at the Bend Apartments on Greentree Boulevard in Clarksville near Byron Drive and Veterans Parkway.
The call of the shooting came in at 12:22 a.m., and officers were on scene within a minute.
He said detectives began work immediately to sort out what happened, interview witnesses, and try to put together a case.
They said a woman who works and lives at the apartment hosted the party and that an invite was spread by young people on social media for anyone to show up who wanted.
Walls said the party got out of control as the night went on, and the shooting occurred.
He said this apartment was relatively new and didn't have a history of trouble.
맥스카지노We wouldn맥스카지노t call it a systemic issue with this particular apartment complex," said Walls.
Walls stressed the importance of parents knowing where their kids are and knowing what kind of party they're attending.
"We're dealing with reckless kids," said Walls.
He said the kids ranged from all different backgrounds and demographics.
"I can promise you just by seeing these kids, their parents didn't know where these kids went that night. There's no way," said Walls. "I think many of the parents would be surprised to find out their kids were there that night. So, they need to listen. They need to talk to their kids, and if they were there, we're going to need them to step forward and tell us what they saw and who they knew was there and maybe help us put together a few pieces."
